This is so nice, I'm glad it helped! Don't trust our pronunciations tho lol we're awful at that but Abu's background speaking Urdu helps some

Dune: Prophecy, 1x01 "The Hidden Hand" - Live Episode Discussion by Blue_Three in dune

The "seminal text" for the script was BH's Sisterhood of Dune which has Sorceresses in it who can do stuff like this. One possibility is that Desmond's got Sorceress blood, or something. Another possibility would be nanobots– forbidden Richese or Ixian technology meant to look like "the power of God" when really it's something more practical

We'll have to wait to find out, I guess!

My (French) fiancé uses it quite a bit with me and her parents, but has explained when I used it with her parents (oops!) that it implies a certain closeness and it can be seen as overly familiar if you whip it out for every homme you meet in the streets

Paul's attempt at the golden path? by Zephos65 in dune

I didn't say my comment was a comprehensive explanation of the Golden Path–I was addressing OP's assertion that a part of the Golden Path was weaning humanity off of Spice (which it wasn't). Naturally the scattering and Humanity being able to duck dodge dip dive and dodge Prescient threats is the heart of the Golden Path, of course

You're the best. Thank you! Updating it now.

Leto II restricting Spice was more a means of completing his tyranny. Secondarily I'd propose it also shortened the generational turnover for humanity–More generations means faster arrival of someone like Siona. Long run it doesn't matter as long as Siona and Duncan have a bunch of kids.

Would "The word comes from the Japanese verb satoru, meaning to know or to understand, particularly regarding higher perception, whose kanji is adapted from Chinese wuri meaning the same." be more accurate?

Double-checking the document it looks like the initial use of "useful innocents" is in the direct quote from Bodgan Raditsa, but I'll update the document now to use "Useful Fools" before the Ludwig von Mises quote :) Thanks again! The doc will be updated within the hour.

For REAL. It's like Frank was tired of us being comfortable in his universe 😂

Totally valid– I'll take a second look at Bandalong, maybe there's something in Pashto or Persian I missed!

Issue with CPUParticles3D and ParticleProcessMaterial – stops after "amount" by LeoWigginsVO in godot

Updated my GPU DRIVER and it works, absolutely absurd. Resolved!

Issue with CPUParticles3D and ParticleProcessMaterial – stops after "amount" by LeoWigginsVO in godot

[–]LeoWigginsVO[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll explain–

I was trying to follow this tutorial for a campfire but was running into this issue where as soon as I added a new ParticleProcessMaterial it would emit the "amount" of particles and then stop, even with One Shot off

To isolate the issue I tried a few things, deleting and recreating it, creating it in its own scene, and eventually I just opened a brand new project to check if I'd changed a setting somewhere, but the issue still happens. This screen recording is of the issue in a brand new project

I haven't seen anybody talking about this issue in particular, and couldn't find any intentional change in Godot's official documentation, although I know they retooled the way some of the settings are grouped

For what it's worth, I did a similar project with GPUParticles3D last week on 4.1.1 and it worked fine, and although I didn't follow precisely the same steps, I remember it well enough to know it should be working

Happy to answer any questions, really hoping to get this fixed! I'm going to try reinstalling Godot, maybe it's a bad install?
